Optical Determination of Cholesterol in Milk with Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-Coated Quantum Dots

Fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer-coated CdSe/ZnS quantum dots were prepared in an efficient one-step synthesis. Their application as fluorescent nanoparticles for the direct quantification of cholesterol in milk was characterized. The quantum dots were used as cores to produce fluorescence. The molecularly imprinted polymer shells provided specific binding sites for cholesterol. The system exhibited good linearity for cholesterol from 0.5 to 150?µg?mL^?1, a low detection limit of 0.15?µg?mL^?1, and acceptable reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 4.2% for six replicates. The molecularly imprinted polymer-coated quantum dots were used to determine cholesterol in fortified milk. Recoveries were from 87.0 to 105.2% and a possible mechanism is proposed. The fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer-coated quantum dots exhibited excellent selectivity and provide a simple, rapid, selective, and effective analytical approach.     

Sensitive Molecularly Imprinted Fluorescence Determination of Pyrethroids using Green Zinc Oxide Quantum Dots

Pyrethroids are similar to the natural pyrethrins produced by the flowers of pyrethrums that are effective insecticides but with potential toxicity. Here, a novel core–shell fluorescence probe for pyrethroids was prepared by precipitation polymerization. ZnO quantum dots and cyhalothrin were used as the substrate and template, respectively. Due to the formation of reversible specific recognition sites during copolymerization in the presence of acrylamide and ethyl glycol dimethacrylate, ZnO-based molecularly imprinted polymers containing cyhalothrin recognition sites were obtained. Transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to characterize the resulting ZnO-based imprinted polymers. The polymer microspheres were used to sensitively and selectively determine cyhalothrin. In addition, a linear relationship between the concentration of cyhalothrin and the fluorescence intensity was obtained from 0 to 80 µmol L^?1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9964 using the Stern–Volmer equation. The protocol was used for the determination of cyhalothrin in milk demonstrating the suitability of the methodology for practical sample analysis. The selective and sensitive fluorescence recognition, low production cost, and facile synthesis demonstrate attractive properties of ZnO-based molecularly imprinted polymers for specific molecule recognition.     

Sensitive and Selective Determination of 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol Using a Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Based on Zinc Oxide Quantum Dots

Novel core-shell molecularly imprinted polymers were prepared based on zinc oxide quantum dots for the determination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol by fluorescence. Principally, ZnO quantum dots and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol were chosen as the core substrate and the template molecule, respectively. The specific recognition sites for 2,4,6-trichlorophenol were obtained during the polymerization process in presence of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and tetraethylorthosilicate. Molecularly imprinted ZnO quantum dots were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the optical properties were evaluated by spectrofluorometry. Under the optimal conditions, molecularly imprinted ZnO quantum dots were successfully applied to the sensitive determination and selective recognition of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol in water. A linear relationship was obtained to cover the concentration range of 0–160?µmol?L^?1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9931 calculated by the Stern–Volmer equation. The products were used for the determination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol in the water from local rural areas and the results strongly supported that the molecularly imprinted ZnO quantum dots were suitable for the determination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol in real examples.

Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Coated Quantum Dots for Multiplexed Cell Targeting and Imaging

Advanced tools for cell imaging are of great interest for the detection, localization, and quantification of molecular biomarkers of cancer or infection. We describe a novel photopolymerization method to coat quantum dots (QDs) with polymer shells, in particular, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), by using the visible light emitted from QDs excited by UV light. Fluorescent core–shell particles specifically recognizing glucuronic acid (GlcA) or N‐acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) were prepared. Simultaneous multiplexed labeling of human keratinocytes with green QDs conjugated with MIP‐GlcA and red QDs conjugated with MIP‐NANA was demonstrated by fluorescence imaging. The specificity of binding was verified with a non‐imprinted control polymer and by enzymatic cleavage of the terminal GlcA and NANA moieties. The coating strategy is potentially a generic method for the functionalization of QDs to address a much wider range of biocompatibility and biorecognition issues.
